Captions, Transcriptions, and Translations

Hi All

This has come up a couple of times where there's confusion about when we need captions and transcripts, and there is further confusion when the videos need to support multiple languages. I've looked around and can only find unilingual information.

I've recently come across some English videos with English captions and available French and Spanish transcriptions and am wondering if these are sufficient or if we would need a separate video with each language in both audio and captions. The speech is voiceover with nothing being demonstrated in a time-sensitive manner.

The audience is internal employees, if that is a factor.

Thanks!
